Well, apparently that little update to the look of subgenius.com was up to snuff. It went up before it was even finished, actually. After an updated version was sent, everything got updated and all is well. Quite the debacle to begin with, but well worth it.
So go now, already!
It's shiny and new!

Oops, I Did It Again
SubSite
In the fall of 2003, after having lost my job, i sat down and banged out a new set of index pages for subgenius.com. It took a few weeks of plugging away at it, and several attempts at different "looks" and whatnot, but it finally got done.
A few months after that, (maybe six, but i wasn't counting) it ended up on the web, as the new look of subsite.
Well, i got bored again and redid the whole damned thing. The version i'd done back in '03 was not my best work. Actually, it was a "quicky" version that eventually went up. It took me several tries to get anything done with the damned thing, and when i fianlly established what needed to go where, and how much of it needed to change to present a complete index, etc, etc...
I was about to move!
See, i was just about to move to new jersey and had to show something for all those weeks of frustration, so i threw something together that i wasn't totally happy with. But it worked. It replaced several multicoloured, hard to read, mysteriously laid-out pages with a group that all looked the same, and that linked to all the stuff that was most commonly checked up on by regular visitors to the site.
But now, i've managed to sort out all the things that i'd wanted to do, and actually do them right! It took a total of 25 months from start to finish, but i finally got things sorted out to my own satisfaction.
Now i'm just hoping that it meets with the approval of the Rev. Ivan Stang. It's usually his responsibility to update and maintain the thing, so if it turns out that it's not to his liking, it's back to square one.
Here's hoping!

Oh yeah, and the Cabal has a new site...
The Taphouse Cabal
I should probably mention the website we got running for the Taphouse Cabal. Now on to patching up SubSite.
It all began one evening over many beverages in a bar called the Taphouse Grill. Three patrons enjoying their beer, decided to form a super-seekrit society whose aim it would appear, was to experience and celebrate all the effects of drunkeness. Taking for themselves the secret latin motto "Bibere, Pervertere, Caedere" which they were certain meant something, these intrepid explorers then went on to spread their message of whatever it was far and wide. Born of too much Drink, the Taphouse Cabal meandered it's way through the flotsam and jetsam that is the IntraWeb, settling at last on an IRC network protocol that encourages, amongst other things, freethought, black humor, white Russians, good beer, and bad jokes.
